Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Mary Easley's records sought

NCSU is subpoenaed for documents on her hiring, promotion, salary

RALEIGH (Winston-Salem Journal) - Federal investigators yesterday subpoenaed several years of Mary Easley's employment records, adding to scrutiny of the former first lady's university job and potential perks given to her husband while he was in office.

Subpoenas sent yesterday to N.C. State University asked for all documents related to Easley's hiring, promotion and salary dating back to 2002. The document requests went to the offices of provost, chancellor and the university's custodian of records, and authorities asked each representative to appear before a grand jury on Thursday.

Easley received a five-year contract last year that will pay her $850,000 to run a campus-speaker series and public-safety center.
